Modification of titanium dental implant surface can speed up the osseointegration process. Also, the improvement of the implant surface can be very beneficial in situations of poor bone quality. There are different methods for modifying the implant surface topography. During this presentation, nanotechnology as well as surface wettability will be discussed in terms of bone formation and cell behavior.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss different types of surface treatment for dental implants
Identify the effects of surface topography on different cell population attachment and differentiation
Explain how surface topography can improve osseointegration in osteoporosis
